You have a higher chance of living than dying of covid.
330 million people in the US have not had covid.
Additionally, covid is not a binary of either you recover completely or you die. Upwards of 10% of people who have covid are "long haulers" with ongoing medical needs for months if not indefinitely, including kidney failure, heart issues, lung issues, and chronic fatigue. We also know there is a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes, even among younger, healthier people.
You might be comfortable with a 1% chance of dying, but are you comfortable with a 10% chance of having life-altering long term health implications? And that percentage is just who we know about coming straight out of an initial diagnosis. We don't know what this is going to look like, especially in terms of vascular issues, in 5 or 10 years. We know that covid can cause heart damage even in mild cases for young people.
You have been asked and you are in favor of mandatory vaccines.
You also have stated that it is the PERSON's fault they have adverse events. Not the vaccine
It's very clear what you believe. You have ZERO credibility.
Being in favor of mandatory school vaccines is not the same as wanting mandatory vaccines for everyone in the US. Unless you can find a post that says that, what you are claiming is false. Your attempts at snark and hyperbole do not support your case. I am not the one who lacks credibility here.
People cannot help having glitches in their physiology. For vaccines, such glitches can produce adverse effects. That does not mean the vaccine itself is defective or bad.
"Six people died in Pfizer’s late-stage trial of the COVID-19 vaccine, the US Food and Drug Administration has revealed just hours after Britain became the first country in the world to roll out the vaccine."
Let's see, die from a vaccine that I would voluntarily take, or take a chance with a virus that has a high survival rate, and that many when they supposedly have it, don't even know it. Yeah, I don't want to be a part of the "acceptable" risk of death.
Choice is good, and by golly, there better be a choice!
Four of the people who died did not even get the vaccine.
"One of the vaccine recipients had a cardiac arrest 62 days after a second dose of the two-dose vaccination and died three days later. The other died from arteriosclerosis three days after a first dose of the vaccination. One of the placebo recipients died from myocardial infarction, another from haemorrhagic stroke and two others from unknown causes.
The FDA briefings clarify that the deaths were not deemed to be related to the vaccine: “None of these deaths were assessed by the investigator as related to study intervention”. They explain: 'All deaths represent events that occur in the general population of the age groups where they occurred, at a similar rate.'”

You just never know what's put in vaccines for general use.

300,000 out of 330,000,000 is one in 1100 Americans, and the number is growing. You do not think that is a significant number? On a daily basis it is currently the #1 killer in the US, ahead of heart disease and cancer.
Likely after the first round of people take it or if my job ends up requiring it. The latter is likely.
This, for me. I wouldn't be surprised if my job requires proof of getting the vaccine, at some future point. Where if that by some chance in the future my seasonal job (and hopefully we come back in 2021) requires it, I'll get the vaccine.
